Which IELTS test to practice
For registration with the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons (RCVS), practice IELTS Academic. RCVS accepts IELTS Academic and IELTS Academic for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI), on paper or online. Academic Reading uses journal and textbook passages, and Writing Task 1 describes a chart or diagram. You are exempt if your degree was taught and examined entirely in English.
The score to aim for
| Applies to | IELTS overall band | IELTS band in each skill |
|---|---|---|
| RCVS registration, IELTS Academic or IELTS Academic UKVI | 7.0 average or higher | 7.0 or higher in three skills, 6.5 minimum in the fourth |
Any skill below 6.5 fails whatever the average: RCVS accepts 7.0, 7.0, 6.5 and 7.5, and rejects a 7.0 average holding a 6.0. Results must be under two years old when you submit.
Before you book the real test
RCVS accepts the veterinary version of OET as the alternative. RCVS can change these scores, so check them before you book: English language requirements.
